Is it him?

How could he be here?

Ke Yue was stunned and stared at the man on the podium and fell into memories.

Six years ago, he was still working in the capital. Because of his wife's disagreement with him, he often went to drink to relieve his sorrows. Because he drank, he met a friend by chance.

The friend didn't talk about his origin, but just asked to find a drink companion to drink with him. Over time, the two of them became very good drinkers at the food stall.

As soon as they became friends, under the urging of alcohol, the two of them almost "talk about everything", from astronomy, geography, international affairs, from emotional women to political history, in short, conversations with this friend always make Ke Yue feel regretful that he would not meet as soon as possible.

But one day, the friend lost contact. From that day on, until Ke Yue divorced his wife and left the capital, he never saw this friend again.

The name of this friend is "Shi Liao". It is a rare name.

"Dear comrades, good afternoon, everyone. My name is Shi Liao. I am the host and tour guide who presided over this meeting for you all."

The familiar name penetrated deep into his ears, and Ke Yue suddenly woke up from his memories, realizing that the person in front of him was indeed the friend in his memory.

He...why did he become a soldier after he lost contact?

Many confusions circling in Ke Yue's heart, but at this moment, listening to Shi Liao's words seemed more important.

"Maybe many comrades are now confused about this meeting, and some people suddenly received a notice from their superiors. So I will give a background introduction to this meeting first."

"My name is Shi Liao, and I am affiliated with the Information Department of the Information Department under the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission."

"Everyone should know now that it happened yesterday's global cyber attack."

Behind Shi Liao was a hundred-inch electronic display screen. His fingers were sliding, and news about yesterday appeared on the screen.

It should be said that the whole world was shocked!

At 11:18 am on October 30, capital time, cyber attacks on global scales were quickly staged simultaneously around the world. Whether it was various TV stations or live broadcast platforms on the Internet, they were all subject to unknown cyber attacks, resulting in a video image appearing together.

In less than an hour, the image of the attack appeared silently, but the global shock that followed was spreading at an explosive speed. The headlines of major media and news were covered up by this emergency, and the degree of shock and explosion was a little more than the 9/11 incident that year.

Obviously, excluding the curiosity and surprise of ordinary civilians, the shock and attention of governments in various countries are much higher than that of the 9/11 incident.

"According to current statistics, taking my country as an example, a total of 256 TV channels have been affected, including most influential TV stations in the country. The Internet has been affected less, and ordinary websites have not been implicated, but there are websites with live broadcast platforms, and a total of 27 top-ranked websites have been attacked."

"As of now, there are about 2,487 TV channels attacked around the world, 145 websites under attack, covering 157 countries and regions around the world, and nearly 4 billion people have watched the accidental image..."

This kind of top-secret information from the country is by no means available to the current media. When he heard Shi Liao's heavy voice, Ke Yue couldn't help but take a breath. Is this really something that humans can do now?

Shi Liao looked bright and looked straight at the crowd in the conference room with shortness of breath: "Comrades, you heard it right. This is not an ordinary hacking attack, but involves a national security threat. It is the most serious economic and military threat in history. No, I should add two words, it is the most serious economic and military threat in human history."

He walked back and forth, his body was strong and powerful, and his voice was rumbling. For a moment, the entire conference room could not help but bring a heavy and depressing atmosphere.

Suddenly, another screen next to the conference room suddenly lit up.

"Crazy..."

Everyone in the conference room stood up and salute!

Ke Yue also quickly stood up and looked at the person who was connecting to the TV on another screen, feeling his legs trembling.

There are only a dozen people in the TV connection, but everyone in it means that everyone, especially the person in the middle, is the leader that will inevitably appear on the news broadcast every day, and is also a dozen people who master the country's important weapon and stand at the peak of power.

After the salute, everyone sat down again.

But before I knew it, everyone's back was straight, with their hands on their knees, and their eyes were directly in front of them.

"What I just said is not an exaggeration. Yesterday's 1030 incident involved unprecedented countries and scope..."

"This is a secret live TV conference within our military..."

He turned around and manipulated the computer, and then a blurry internal secret live TV conference appeared on the screen. However, suddenly, the live conference was cut off and the image that Ke Yue was familiar with appeared.

"It can be seen that not only civil communication networks, but also military-encrypted communication networks are also invaded at the same time. This is a very difficult attack in technology. Our internal communications are physically disconnected from the outside world, and there is no access to the global Internet. They are also isolated by wireless electromagnetic shielding. In theory, this internal secret video conference will not be attacked."

“But it happened.”

Shi Liao looked calm, as if he was talking about something that he didn't want to be related to.

Ke Yue is very familiar with Shi Liao's attitude. When talking to him, no matter how intense the topic is, Shi Liao never reveals too much emotion and always likes to look at problems from a third-party perspective. It is precisely because of this that Shi Liao can often see many major problems that others cannot see.

"In terms of cyberattacks, the United States is at the forefront of the world. As early as the Gulf War in 1991, the US military carried out cyberattacks against Iraq. Seven years ago, the US Department of Defense officially ordered the establishment of a separate cyber command. At that time, its members exceeded 88,700, and the number of people currently in service is close to 100,000..."

This is definitely an amazing number. Although the Information Department of the General Staff of China was established early, its plans for cyber warfare were very slow. Taking domestic examples as a case study, there is no separate cyber warfare department. According to the rough guess obtained by Ke Yue at the Center for International Relations Development, the number of people specializing in cyber warfare in China will not exceed 10,000.
